From the top of the world comes Gulost, a Norwegian cheese similar to a fresh Dutch Gouda. This gouda-type from the Land of the Midnight Sun is made by Synnøve, one of Norway's two largest cheese producers (the other being Tine). Synnøve was started by a woman who was exposed to dairy farming all her life. The young milkmaid traveled to the Captial of Norway, where she took work as an apprentice in a shop and dairy, but she longed to start her own work. Finally, she achieved her dream and the Synnøve Finden Cheese Factory opened in the town of Oslo in 1928.

I've had this cheese in Scandinavia a lot, where it's part of a Continental Breakfast, and love slicing it thinly.

Wonderful Find

I lived in Norway when I was a kid and remember having this cheese on toast and melted over ravioli for dinner. After we returned to the States, we looked for it in the grocery stores with no luck. My mom and I were recently out in California and found the Gulost cheese in a Scandinavian store. Once we tried it, it brought back memories of Norway.

The Best Option Available in the USA

Just as being back in Scandinavia, I am Danish and this is the closest I get to having Riberhus on my bread!

Delicate

This is a very mild and delicate flavor cheese, somewhat similar to Gouda, ideal for hors d'oeuvres, or thinly sliced on a buttered roll for breakfast or lunch.

Ahhh... Perfect Breakfast cheese.

When visiting Norway our relatives always had this for breakfast. Finally we're able to enjoy the same breakfast without going to Norway! Thanks much.

creamy and bitter, great for melting

Used for grilled cheese sandwhiches in combination with 4 other cheeses. Was wonderful!
